FRANKLIN, ALABAMA --

The U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers are facing budget troubles and several parks they operate throughout Alabama are in jeopardy of closing.

Volunteers in Monroe County are doing what they can to make sure Isaac Creek Campground doesn't close. The U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers have given the volunteers until November 1st to show prove that the park needs to remain open.

Dozens of volunteers now work day and night to make sure the park stays staffed. They clean, blow leaves and work in the guard shack, among other duties.

The Corps no longer have an active role in the campground, other than cutting the grass.

If the campground is closed after November, the U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers hope the budget allows for reopening in March of 2012.
